Abstract
In this chapter we model the activities of a cell that receives nutrients from its environment, uses these nutrients for growth and maintenance, and then excretes waste products back into its environment.
In the nutrient-rich waters of the Thames type, a burst of algal growth may sometimes cease before any serious depletion of the mineral nutrient in the water has apparently taken place.
(Nature, 21 Sept. 1946)
